This is Book 3 of Cinderella Romances. Some books can be read as a standalone and others really need the previous books to connect to the characters. I do think that if I read the previous two, I would understand more about Aidan Cross especially since it sounds like Aidan was a significant character for Rhett and Lily's story. I was still able to have a basic understanding of who is just from this book. I would recommend other readers to at least read Book 1 of the Cinderella Romances before reading this one.

Aidan Cross is the heir to Cross Enterprises, a multi-billion dollar company that does everything from finance to premier golf courses and real estate. The latter is the division that Aidan is in charge of. It is as close as he will ever get to his own dream--being a PGA professional golfer, a dream that he father extinguished after Aidan completed his MBA and his college golfing career. Instead, Aidan builds premier PGA golf resorts with his best friend, Rhett. The next resort is going to be in Cypress Key, Florida. There are a few hiccups with this development project beginning with time in the local jail, a corrupt mayor, and a beautiful boat tour operator, Casey Stuart.

Casey Stuart lost her father when she was a child and her stepmother is now married to the town mayor. All the men in her life have let her down with the exception of her uncle, a former PGA golfer who gave up the tour to take care of his niece when his brother died. To make ends meet, Casey runs a boat tour and helps her uncle on their golf course--a course that Casey designed. Casey's dream is to design golf courses. She returned to Cypress Key after college to help her uncle with his failing business. He is not the only business in Cypress Key that is struggling. Almost every business in the town owes the mayor a portion of their business or large sums of money. To add to Casey's issues, her high school boyfriend, PJ Bartow--the mayor's son, wants her back. He is not taking no for an answer even after she tells him that she is involved with the new stranger in town. PJ is desperate and will do anything even sabotage Casey's dreams.

Aidan didn't believe his best friends--Rhett and Garrett when they said they fell in love at first sight. The two men must have been crazy! But when Aidan sees Casey securing her tour boat at the marina--he's questioning everything he had previously known about women and romance. The once playboy is not only a believer but also willing to do anything for the woman he loves. But will Casey still want him when she find out his real identity?

Girl meets boy, sparks fly, he pushes the throttle of the airboat forward and we are off on an Everglades adventure. So far, things are what I expected them to be and I am loving it. I am sure the danger is around one of these corners, just got to find it. lol

The Everglades is something on my bucket list, so I was very excited to ‘read all about it.’ I can imagine the vibrations from the airboat under my feet, the sounds and smells that surround me, the wind blowing my hair and the sun on my face. Kayli is a photographer, so that is another thing about the book I can relate to, wanting to get those perfect shots. I can hardly wait to walk in her footsteps with my own Mr Wonderful.

Okay, Kayli, either smack him or kiss him. I foresee some hot action, and it’s not just of the romantic kind. I love all the sexual innuendo and flirtation in the dialogue. I do, sometimes, get frustrated with the back and forth of romantic suspense, but, when I really think about it, isn’t miscommunication a popular problem in real life?

I love the ecological slant to the story. I know some people don’t like real life events and concerns in their fictional reading, but to me it makes the story more real. Gives me an extra something to see how it plays out.

Oh yeah, gotta have those *#%$& spiders and giant cockroaches that we know so well here in Florida.

I love Sky’s friend, Jimmy, messing with him about Kayli. Plenty of grins and laughs.

I never thought I would be such a hopeless romantic, but if the writing is good and the characters engrossing, my heart pounds with heat and fear right along with them. I know it’s hard to find a love story that hasn’t been told before, but I sure do like reading new books in my search.

Romance, danger, some Indian lore and mysticism in a tropical paradise? Loved it!

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Ambush by Petie McCarty.

Review:

"Par for Cinderella" by Petie McCarty

My Thoughts...

Who will Mega millionaire Aidan Cross come across as he goes to Cypress Key as he wants to set up a custom course to become one of the 'stops on the PGA tour?' Well, it's Casey Stuart and I tell you with will be a lots of problems that will come of this meeting from being arrested by the law enforcement. What is that all about? Will Aidan be able to build a posh golf course? Now, this story will have so many twist and turns that you will certainly have to keep up. I liked how this author was to give us a game of golf that was very intensed and down right interesting in this well written contemporary romance.What all will happen as we find this town of Cypress Key is being run by a horrible mayor and his different henchmen? How will this draw these two together [Aidan and Casey]. This is where I say you will have pick up "Par for Cinderella" to see how well this author presents to tale to the reader. This story has some very intriguing secondary characters that will give one a read of not only a good tale but also one that will involve 'love, happiness, life's hard lessons' and in the end of this Cinderella tale of a HEA.… (mer)

Review:

"Betty on Cinderella" by Petie McCarty

My Thoughts....

Wow what a story that had it all:

From a horrible stepmother, two stepsisters, oh my a wonderful godmother a yes what is left but a Cinderella and you will have quite a charming fairy tale. I loved how this story fit so well with the Cinderella story but also giving us a good read that contained 'embezzlers, casinos and rough looking guys like the mafia in this particular read. I really like seeing how far this godmother would go for her goddaughter, Andi definitely giving her one quite 'fairy tale ending.' The two main characters, Garrett Tucker and Andi Ryan along with the secondary characters were simply all very well developed, portrayed and believable told fairy tale story that will keep you turning the pages. For Garrett who had been at his friends wedding [Rhett & Lilly] that he sees a 'beautiful women sitting the in the pew' [Andi] but they do not get a chance to meet. From here the story will take off and the reader will get a story that will give one quite a few twist and turns in the retelling of the Cinderella story. Be ready for a fairy tale that will keep you guessing till the end in this fast paced read. The story will have lots of 'conflict, sexy billionaire in disguise, and a caring woman wanting to take care of her godmother, romance, deception, drama, lies, gambling action, attempted murder, embezzler, kidnapping and in the end a HEA. I indeed enjoyed that ending that gave this story a new twist into this Cinderella tale.… (mer)
